If you were only a fan of “I Believe In A Thing Called Love,” the mega-hit single from Permission To Land, the debut album by The Darkness, then all I can say is that you’ve missed some incredible hard rock ‘n’ roll since then. To that end, their new album, Last of Our Kind, would…

“Absolute Zero” is the second single from SIRUS’ soon to be released debut album LEAP. And what a glorious single it is. Duo Lindsey and Dave Mackie — a real life couple — have truly created something special with LEAP, which we’ll be reviewing shortly. In the meantime, we just had to turn you onto…

Review and all photos by Maia Kennedy When the news broke 7 months ago that the Foo Fighters were coming to Boston, tickets sold out instantly. Several months later, an audible gasp went out worldwide when Foo lead singer Dave Grohl broke his leg on tour in Sweden. It looked likely that they would have to…

White Reaper’s White Reaper Does It Again is the debut full-length album by the band, which hails from Louisville, Kentucky. And it’s a wild, motherfucking, non-stop party from start to finish. It’s a turbo-charged blend of classic Buddy Holly-era rock ‘n’ roll and vintage Ramones punk rock with (maybe) a tiny dash of old school…

Ezra Furman is a restless warrior. He well-established this on his first two solo albums and with his late band the Harpoons. One has only ever needed to hear a few of his songs to realize that he’s a guy who can’t sit still, not even inside his head. He is always brimming with manic…

I love it when artists do covers and give them their own interpretation rather than going the paint-by-numbers route. And Australia’s Green Buzzard have totally re-envisioned Tobias Jesso Jr’s “Hollywood” here. Where the original version was a somber piano ballad, Green Buzzard’s version is uptempo and even upbeat, guitar-centric alternative rock.

I’ll probably get shit for saying this, but I like Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds more than I liked Oasis. I always preferred his voice over Liam’s, which sounded whiny to me. Also, Oasis were always trying to be The Beatles and that got old about halfway through their career. Don’t get me wrong –…

review by Barnaby Thornton Reviewing this album was no easy task. I tried to be smart. I tried to be a “music journalist”. I tried every analogy under the pale green sun; sick with responsibility as I wrote my way through reawakened volcanoes and uncaptured Polaroid with too much sweetener in my veins, yet not…

That’s right, the record, entitled Dodge & Burn, is set to drop this September on Jack White’s Third Man Records label. The album will include eight brand new songs along with four remastered songs that were previously released as 7″ singles via…

Once in a while a band comes along that’s so good you wonder how you ever lived without them. I remember feeling that way when I discovered Motley Crue and Guns ‘N’ Roses as a kid, or The Killers and Franz Ferdinand a decade ago. During more recent years, I stopped getting that feeling. I…

Review by Barnaby William Thornton Alt. rockers Argonaut tried to better their brilliant debut. And they succeeded! TV’s intro channels the theme tune to ‘News at Ten’ via The Twilight Zone – an ethereal and ominous appointment for you to tune in and f***ing listen – before the synths quickly switch to a spiky guitar-laden…

Now, this is what I call an epic song. And what an amazing one it is, taking the listener on a thought-provoking sonic — and visual — journey. Quite the trip!
